Can I attend classes while I'm on campus?

Because of our small class sizes (and therefore our small classrooms), we don't broadly open our classes to visitors. However, if your student makes prior arrangements with a professor for you to visit his/her class on Friday, by all means join in!

When should I plan to arrive and depart?

Families arrive as their work obligations and other commitments permit. The events begin in the afternoon on Friday. Most families leave on Sunday in the early afternoon.
